Pilot Monkeys is an Australian alternative rock band formed in Brisbane in 2007. It was founded by Marty Banner (vocals & guitars) and James Dwyer (bass & guitars) as a duo studio project to further explore Marty’s song writing talent and James’ growing passion for music production. Both Marty and James were members of Brisbane rock band Ej Moped, which played throughout local venues from 2001 to 2005.

Ben Maynard (also of Ej Moped) joined the band in 2015 bringing his talents to lead guitar and drums and ousting previous drummer Ez Steve in an amicable split. Steve has since gone on to work as a circus performer and has a minor role in a long running TV Soap.

More often than not, friends of the Pilot Monkeys will collaborate and perform on selected tracks, not only to enhance the particular song but also provides the opportunity for the guys to share their passion of song writing and producing with like-minded people.

The main driver for Pilot Monkeys is about enjoying the writing and recording process, with little focus on deadlines, KPI’s and ‘must do tasks’ the guys simply love writing and recording and the sense of achievement of publishing tracks to the website.

All recording and mixing is done in a home studio environment which compliments the mantra of ‘we do this for fun’ and removes unwanted pressure to complete tracks in specific period of time and budget.
